My roommate is not the only one who deprives me of privacy and makes 404 a room that is not really my own. The girls next door to me see me as a back-up grammar check when their computers don't catch every mistake. I can't lock them out because it's not my room to lock. I can't say, "Go away," because they've gotten to be really good friends and I can't be rude to people I care about. The lack of privacy thing really bothers me. Not only do I live in a room that acts as a bedroom, study, kitchen, living room, and bathroom, I don't even get to be miserable in it by myself. Sometimes misery does not love company. Rather, it is created by company. If I can't decorate my room to my liking, I should at least be able to suffer in it alone. But dormitories are not for being alone, I've been told, they're about learning to get along with others. Maybe I'll see the positive results of this nightmare when I'm giving advice to my own children when they begin college, but for the moment, I'm completely oblivious to them.
我的室友剝奪了我的私人空間，使404室不能真正成為我自己的房間，而她也不是唯一這樣做的人。隔壁的女孩們把我當作后備的“語法檢測器”，當她們的電腦不能找出文章的每處語法錯誤時，她們就跑來求救。我不能要她們吃閉門羹，因為這不只是我的房間，我不能把它緊鎖。我也不能對她們說：“走開”，因為她們都是我要好的朋友，我不能粗魯?shù)貙Υ切┪宜P心的人。 沒有私人空間真的讓我很苦惱。我住的房間既是臥室，也是書房、廚房、起居室和衛(wèi)生間，而且我還不能一個人在里面痛苦受罪。有時候，一個痛苦的人是不喜歡別人陪伴的。其實痛苦往往就是源于陪伴。如果我不能按照自己的喜好裝飾房間，至少也得讓我獨自呆在里面受苦啊。但已經(jīng)有人告訴過我了，宿舍不是你獨處的地方，而是讓你學會和別人相處的地方。（也許到了將來某一天，在我給開始上大學的兒女提建議的時候，我可以意識到住宿舍的好處。可現(xiàn)在在我看來，住宿舍就是一場噩夢，我沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)其中的任何好處。）
